hmm all I can say is that stimulants, or at least some of them, methylphenidate for example, have been extensively studied for decades, and there are hundreds of studies saying they are considered safe.. when taken as prescribed, there appears to be no increased risk to later suffer from parkinson, for example (which would translate dopamine depletion).. some scientists warn of a parkison epidemic, because so many young people, or children, are being prescribed ritalin, but regular use in adults appears to be rather safe.. of course, methylphenidate is a reuptake inhibitor.. I don't know what's up with release agents. I do know that, for example, taking excessive amounts of MDMA is damaging to the brain, but long-term exposure to small doses of similar agents, I am not sure about that..
